r3.showdspf

NAME

r3.showdspf - Visualization program which loads the isosurfaces previously calculated using r3.mkdspf and displays them according to commands given at the prompt.
(GRASS 3D Program)

SYNOPSIS

r3.showdspf grid3=name dspf=name [color=name]

Parameters:

grid3: Name of an existing 3dcell map
dspf: Name of an existing display file
color: Name of existing color table

DESCRIPTION

Visualization program which loads the isosurfaces previously calculated using r3.mkdspf and displays them according to commands given at the prompt. Upon initialization of the program, two graphics windows are opened, one for the color table and the other for data display. The display window initially contains a red bounding box. Command options are then printed to the terminal and user is prompted for drawing instructions:

THE INTERACTIVE OPTIONS ARE:

?, (l #), L, (t #), (T # #), I, +, -
(x #) (y #) (z #) r (X #) (Y #) (Z #)
(B(x,y,z)#), (E(x,y,z)#), S, R, F, C, c, s, b, g, n, p[#], d, D, w, Q, h

 USAGE AND MEANING:

 ?         lists available thresholds
 l index# [index#...]  add threshold to display list 
 L         Draw current display list
 t index#  reset so only this threshold is displayed
 T index# index#   show thresholds between hi & lo 
 I         toggle thresholds INSIDE hi/lo or OUTSIDE hi/lo
 +(+++)    display thresholds with consecutively increasing index#
 -(---)    display thresholds with consecutively decreasing index#

 x int#  absolute rotation around x-axis in degrees(int) 
 y int#  absolute rotation around y-axis in degrees(int) 
 z int#  absolute rotation around z-axis in degrees(int) 
 r       rotate_model
 X int#  scale model in x
 Y int#  scale model in y
 Z int#  scale model in z

 B(x,y,z)int#  begin display along (x,y,z) axis at #
 E(x,y,z)int#  end display along (x,y,z)axis #
 S int#        specular highlight control
 R   resets display along axis to show all data
 F grid3name colortablename load new color file

 C   toggles the c_flag
 c   clears the display (no thresholds)
 s   swap buffers
 b   toggles draw a box
 g   toggles grid
 n   toggle surface normal direction

 p   draw all walls
 p#  draw a wall: 1-top, 2-bottom, 3-east, 4-west, 5-north, 6-south

 d   draw (implement the option)
 D   draw a solid defined by T(isosurface + parts of walls)

 w   dump image to a file
 Q   QUIT
 h   help

 enter desired manipulations then press return

Hints:

To navigate around the data, use the r command, then place the mouse pointer in the graphics window and drag with the left mouse to rotate the bounding box. To zoom in and out, drag right or left with the middle mouse. When satisfied with the new viewing position, click with the right mouse.
To quickly view a series of isosurfaces, enter a series of + or - characters, i.e. +++++++
Scripts using above commands on separate lines may be directed to r3.showdspf as standard input. Use the # sign as the first character on a line to indicate a comment.
